Zhou Zhi listened attentively to the movement outside the house, and there seemed to be no sound at this time, so he could only wait patiently.

After the tea time passed, the thief outside the house never flicked the latch again, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what is it! Could it be that the thief ran away?

Zhou Zhi was always light from the bedroom to the outhouse, thinking that the thief would not notice. But what's going on now? Why is it that the latch is only halfway opened, and then it is no longer opened?

I held my breath and listened carefully, but there was indeed no sound except the howling wind. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement outside the house, so Zhou Zhi held the kitchen knife in his right hand, and suddenly forced the door latch with his left hand. At the same time, Zhou Zhi's body dodged to the side, and a pair of starry eyes quickly looked outside.

As soon as the latch opened, I heard "Knock! With a bang, the man outside the house fell headlong into the house and fell to the ground.

The kitchen knife in Zhou Zhi's hand had been raised high, ready to chop down at the man's body at any time, but the strange thing was that the man who fell down did not move at all, obviously unconscious.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Zhi's kitchen knife did not fall, he slowly leaned over, and gently probed his hand under the man's nose, and his breathing was very weak.

Zhou Zhizhou's body instantly became cold, what happened? Isn't this thief dying? Looking down and looking closely, the thief who fell to the ground was actually only fourteen or fifteen years old, unkempt, with yellow muscles and thin muscles, and his eyes were already closed at this time.

Zhou Zhi said secretly, it's really unlucky, I haven't done anything to him yet? If this boy is really dead, it has nothing to do with me.

He simply put the kitchen knife aside, gently pushed the young thief's body, and said softly, "Wake up, wake up!" ”

The young thief did not move, as if unconscious.

Father Zhou Tie and his mother Zhou He heard the movement in the outhouse, Zhou Tie didn't have time to dress, he came out in a hurry, and was surprised to see the scene in front of him, and asked in horror, "Xiaozhi, did you hurt this thief?" ”

Zhou Zhi shook his head and said, "That's it when you open the door, this little thief is frozen to death!" ”

The thief didn't have time to steal something, he had already passed out, and he seemed to have never heard of such a situation, Zhou Tie naturally panicked, and said hurriedly, "Throw it out, throw it out, don't let him die in our Zhou family." ”

What he was worried about was obviously that if this little thief really died, the Zhou family would definitely be in big trouble. Although he came to steal something, he wouldn't let him die, right?

Zhou Zhi squatted on the ground, glanced at his father Zhou Tie, and said with a wry smile, "Daddy, this thief is so weak that if he is thrown out, he will definitely die, now let's find a way to revive him first!" ”

Zhou Tie was extremely helpless and nodded slightly.

With his father's promise, Zhou Zhi picked up the thief without hesitation and walked into the bedroom.

Fortunately, the kang was still very hot, and the thief's body was covered with a quilt, and among the people who pinched him hard, the father and son were busy, but fortunately, the thief finally opened a pair of chaotic and godless eyes.

The thief wakes up, looks around, and gets up. However, his body was so weak that his head that had just been lifted fell down heavily.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry!" The thief made a very faint sound.

Zhou Zhi was annoyed and depressed, what is going on? The thief had come to his house to steal things, but in the end, his own house had to save his life and entertain him with good food and drink.

At this time, Zhou He's mother-in-law had already dressed, came over to look at the young thief, and muttered, "I'll go get him food, this is a hard-working child!" ”

After that, he hurried to boil water and hot rice.

The effort was not too big, Zhou He cooked a bowl of hot porridge and brought three white flour buns.

The body of the young thief who covered the quilt warmed up a lot, and at this time, he seemed to have some strength, and he was able to sit up half-way. He saw the hot porridge and the white-faced steamed bun, and a pair of chaotic eyes instantly glowed, and his throat kept squirming.

Stretched out his hand and snatched the steamed bun from Zhou He's hand, as if he hadn't eaten anything in his life, he didn't look at Zhou He's Zhou Zhi and others, so he devoured it.

After a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, the thief was choked and rolled his eyes, and kept burping.

"Child, you eat slowly, drink hot porridge first, and there will be more after eating!" Zhou He's heart was soft, and when he saw the appearance of the young thief, he couldn't help but say softly.

Zhou He handed him the hot porridge.

The thief drank a few sips of hot porridge and ate steamed buns ruthlessly.

Three white-flour buns, a bowl of hot porridge was wiped out by him in a moment. When the guy finished eating, he stretched out the empty bowl and said, "One more bowl, and give me a few more buns." ”

Seeing that this guy is so rude, he is a thief and is so arrogant, and the anger in his chest is up and down. But in the end, I held back, and just sighed silently in my heart, this guy shouldn't be a wolf-hearted dog and a thing without human hearts.

In later generations, there was a story of a farmer and a snake, and at this time, the Zhou family's treatment of this thief and the farmer's treatment of snakes can be described as the same.

Zhou Tie was obviously a little angry, but he didn't speak.

Zhou He agreed, took the empty bowl, went to serve him another bowl, and brought four yellow rice pumpkin cakes.

Although the life of the Zhou family is better now, the days must be saved, and each meal is just a small amount of white flour buns, and the most eaten is yellow rice pumpkin cakes.

The young thief unceremoniously stretched out his hand to take it, and immediately feasted on it. Although the yellow rice pumpkin cake is not a good thing, it is obviously very sweet in his mouth, looking at his eating appearance, Zhou Zhi's heart trembled inexplicably. In this prosperous era of Hongzhi, which is very clear, in fact, I don't know how many people can't eat enough and are on the verge of starvation.

The thief drank four more cakes and a bowl of porridge, and then he burped and refreshed a lot.

He looked at the people in the house, Gu Lu went down from the kang, immediately knelt on the ground, and said, "The villain actually came to your house to steal things, and he didn't want to faint from hunger, the villain thanks the aunt and uncle for saving their lives, the villain kowtowed to you!" ”

"Knock knock!" The sound of kowtowing almost knocked out of the pit on the ground.

Zhou Tie and Zhou He hurriedly stopped him, especially his mother Zhou He had tears in her eyes at this time, and said, "Get up, get up quickly, kid, I know you are hungry, if you are not hungry, who will be a thief?" ”

With that, he dragged the young thief up from the ground.

The young thief listened to these very warm words, as if he had touched his heartstrings, and his tears instantly fell down, and he choked up, "The villain has met a good family, and the villain has already heard that the Zhou family in Baiyue Village is a good family in the past few days, and the villain ...... The villain still has to kowtow to you. ”

In fact, you don't need to know much about a person, just look at his eyes, and look at some of his movements, you can detect the person's character. Zhou Zhi always watched this young thief coldly, and realized that the young thief's heart was not bad, so he asked, "Little brother, where are you from, how did you end up here and become a thief?" ”
